Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I'm a rabbit in your headlights Scared of the spotlight You don't come to visit I'm stuck in this bed Thin rubber gloves She laughs when she's crying She cries when she's laughing Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away... (Away... away... away...) I'm a rabbit in your headlights Christian suburbanite Washed down the toilet Money to burn Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away... If you're frightened of dyin' and you're holding on... You'll see devils tearing your life away. But...if you've made your peace, Then the devila are really angels Freeing you from the earth... from the earth... from the earth Rotworms on the underground Caught between stations Butterfingers I'm losing my patience I'm a rabbit in your headlights Christian suburbanite You got money to burn.... Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away... Away, away, away, Away, away, away.
